Not nearly enough options on that poll, so this thread gets my vote for worst thread ever!

...like i stole it.

My personal favorite is taking those 270 degree freeway interchanges in 2nd gear with the tach showing 5k, then punching it all the way to 3rd gear redline!

I never go above 4K. What is this VTEC you guys are talking about? I get passed by Geo's

Realistically, I drive responsibly especially with a passenger in the car on the streets.

street racing

I only drive her hard when I get to private roads. Other than that I just stroll through the city. No need to go fast, people are already scared. And yes I do agree with the 3rd gear onramp vtec. Right when I hit the fast lane I push da NawsSs button!

I drive it normal when I'm in traffic, but I usually redline it every day in the evening on the way home from schoo.

What can I say! It's a fun engine!!

My car is my daily driver, so I can't afford to rev it sky high every single day. The way I drive it depends on the mood I'm in. Most of the time, I baby it.

ITR block/GSR head & Cams (160/122 with 8K and stock GSR I/H/E) in my DC2, the stock computer cant even let it stretch its legs yet...oh yea, 6-8k almost every shift. Check the T-belt tension every 1500-3000 miles, check valve clearances every 5000 miles, adjust if necessary. Run AMSOIL 10-40W with the stock honda filter. No problems to report after 12K miles. I love my R block

Who said street racing? I always see this whenever people mention "hitting" Vtec on the street. I frequent Vtec everyday on freeway on ramps exceeding the speed limit way too early for the entrance. I also go about 50mph in a twisty section on the way home that was ment to be a 35mph section.

Well, my gradma tought me how to drive. I always go 5 miles below the speed limit. I disconnected my vtec solenoid, and my R still has its stock tires like brand new after 18K miles.

I drive the **** out of my car. 15 months of driving and 33k on the odo. I hit the rev limiter 2-3 times a week, redline it everytime I drive it, and I enjoy every minute of it.

I go into VTEC range about once a day. I drive like somebody's grandmother the rest of the time.
